SCOTTSDALE -- Agent Scott Boras said Monday that just in the last week, four new teams have inquired about free agent pitchers Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. The extent of their interest is unknown -- as are the teams -- but Boras said the calls for those players are beginning to pick-up as the need for pitching increases.
"There is a pitching panic going on in baseball," Boras stated. "We've got so many starting pitchers that are now compromised. Maybe short term. Some long term. And the calls for elite starters are starting to increase.
